Due to illness along with living some way from the main centre, Alina, 9, didn't participate in as many classes as some of the other girls, so has fewer photos in her portfolio. However, these two show her talent for capturing the moment and telling a story through pictures. Alina lives with her older sisters, Kamala and Laxmi, and cousin Nita, with her natural mother Krishna, the first SOS Bahini house mother. She'd like to be a dancer.
